Non-Skid Gelcoat Wearing Off?

[oba97]

I have a 2017 StarCraft that the non-skid seems to be wearing off. I did some searching but haven’t fount too much help. I assumed the gelcoat was rubbing off, but I did find one thread that mentioned the yellowing could be mildew? It’s on the front swim deck that gets lots of foot traffic, but it’s also happening in an area with next to no foot traffic. I have pasted an example belowAny thoughts?

Try some soft scrub.

I’ve used MaryKate non-skid deck cleaner and a deck brush for years. Follow up with an application of Woody Wax and the deck will look like new

As a bonus, best Fiberglas shower stall cleaner we have ever found. Mrs. Dingbat calls it boat and shower cleaner

hard to tell. either you have crud in the crevices, or the gel is coming off.

if the gel is coming off, simply mix up some gel with fumed silica and a bedliner roller and redo the non-skid.

You can go to the sites that supply refinishing supplies for bath tubs and such and they have a non-skid additive for the paints. Used in in the whirlpool tub and shower and was easy to apply and has lasted years.

That just looks like stains. Do as suggested just clean it first. I've done it with 409 and it's worked fine. Sprits a bit on and scrub with a medium brush. It will look darker till it dries, Oh and rinse with clear water.
